The image that shows up here doesn't look like it has the desktop interfaces separated:

https://www.debian.org/

The download button leads to this file:

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso

This requires internet connection to install. Im assuming this contains all the different interfaces.

I forget navigating website could be tricky. If you explore download pages, you can find some page where you can ISO with specific DE. For example, https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/.

Also im not sure if this will work with an nvidia GPU. Has anyone tried? it may give error since it has free firmware. In that case you may want to try this:

Non-free Firmware

This Debian image build only includes Free Software where possible. However, many systems include hardware which depends on non-free firmware to function properly so this build also includes those firmware files for those cases. See the Debian Wiki non-free firmware page for more information.

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/

That's outdated information. As i stated on previous page, these days Debian include non-free driver. It has been clarified by Debian on https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware.

For Bitcoin and secure crypto transactions, I would look into Manjaro or any Arch distribution powerful enough to handle the necessary software.

Did you ignore what OP want (primarily something that just works)? Arch definitely doesn't meet that criteria while Manjaro has many controversy. See https://alicela1n.github.io/post/2021-10-18-manjarno/.
